MCQ
Normal maize has starchy seeds which remain smooth when dry. A mutant form has sugary seeds which go crinckled when dry. When a mutant was crossed with a normal plant, an $F_1$ was produced which had smooth seeds. What would be the relative ratios of the different seed types, if the $F_1$ was allowed to self
  • A
    $1$ smooth : $3$ sugary
  • $3$ smooth : $1$ sugary
  • C
    $1$ smooth : $1$ sugary
  • D
    All sugary

Answer

Correct option: B.
$3$ smooth : $1$ sugary
b

Which one of the following statements are correct ?
(i) When an organism showing a dominant phenotype is crossed with the dominant parent instead of self crossing, then the cross is called test cross.
(ii) If the result of test cross shows half of the progeny with dominant trait and half recessive trait, then the unknown genotype of parent is interpreted to be heterozygous.
(iii) In incomplete dominance, the F1, had a phenotype that did not resemble either of the two parents and is between the two.
(iv) In incomplete dominance, the phenotypic ratio is 3:1 and the genotypic ratio is 1:2:1.
(v) The study on plant Antirrhinum sp. is good example of incomplete dominance and that on ABO blood group in human being is an example of Co-dominance.
(vi) In case of Co-dominance, F1, generation resembles both parents.
(vii) The phenotypic ratio of dihybrid cross is 9:3:1.
(viii) In 1900, three scientist de Vries, Correns and Von Tschermak independently rediscovered Mendel's result on the inheritance of character.
(ix) Sutton united the knowledge of chromosomal segregation with Mendelian principle and called it the chromosomal theory of inheritance.
(x) Morgan coined the term linkage to describe physical association of genes on a chromosome and the term recombination to describe the generation of parental gene combination.
